*sigh* @Aegis, since you do not deem it important enough to take to PM, but continue to defend your opinion of me publically I need to recap to answer:

You know, if the situations were reversed, you would probably be just as peeved as I am.
Posted by Yshania
And regarding being "peeved" no I wouldn't, I do not put myself in that situation, it is not worth the angst.
Posted by Aegis
You can't say you wouldn't be peeved though. I know you are generally a person with strong opinions, and you like to be heard if you have a point to make, so by saying you wouldn't even be, in the slightest way, miffed about a closed thread is a lie straight to my face.

As for the comment I made to Ysh, I stand by my statement, but the fact that she can claim that she would not be a little upset by one of her threads closing if it were deemed "insulting" but she didn't see it that way, even she didn't voice her thoughts
As I had already addressed your statement by responding I would not be peeved I believe I had voiced my thoughts succinctly. So now I will expand if it helps. Very simply, Aegis, if I thought that something I was about to post was - in your words - a matter well thought out, and orgainized before I type it, I would
still err on the side of caution and not post it UNLESS I was sure it would not cause offense - even a tiny offense. If I then judged to proceed and post, then I would not be peeved that my thread had been closed or deleted - and if I had inadvertantly caused offence by my bad judgement, I would apologise to the persons involved. It is called taking responsibility for your actions. I would not rant publically at a single member, calling them a liar. Is that a concise enough answer for you? I think a smilie or a disclaimer may have avoided the initial misunderstanding.

For the signature, no, I don't see how I am "flying in the face of respect" by qouting the song. It is meant for humourous value.
Appropriate humour? With 9/11 approaching?

Also, never accuse me of stooping to puerile ranting. I may be one of the younger members of the board, but I do not rant. Everything I post in a serious matter is always well thought out, and orgainized before I type it.
So you have not ranted here? This has moved beyond your original post now, I take it all the comments you have made in this thread are as a result of mature consideration?
To be honest, Aegis, it does not matter to me that you called me a liar. Not really. I was surprised, that is all. I am only bothered by such name calling when the name-caller is someone who matters to me. I come to this board for fun and entertainment, not to get into fights with people. I have made some very good friends here, a few RL friends too. Life is too short to worry about those that may not like me.

You should realise the difference from your post and other debate threads: They are debates threads. The original poster usually post with "I think...", "What is your opinion?" and so on, to invite other people to debate/discuss, and give others idea what his/her intention is. If the debate themselves get out of hands is another matter; they may get closed or may survive. On the other hand, you have just posted the song. I wasn't sure what to reply, because I wasn't sure if you were serious or joking.
I agree
